Luminous change (ICA)

This is experienced when the future which seemed like a dark cloud turns into a clear pathway; when one makes a clear decision in spite of the ambiguity, and a variety of specific things become possible. It may be compared to MacMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" when, knowing the probable consequences, he decides to challenge the inhumanity of Big Nurse, and many specific opportunities become clear.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of standing present to the mystery of being in life (the life of contemplation) the third formal aspect is the experience of awesome not-yet-ness or of futurity. At the third phenomenological level a person experiences collegiality with the mystery of being that he is bound to.
